Nick_Plummer Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 ^^ The same way Banshee's scream can be heard from The Bat's station. They're called LOUD speakers for a reason. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdawg1998 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I can hear the Banshee scream from my house somedays...I don't have a problem with it - it's pretty cool! But it does make me laugh how there's a retirement community right next to KI...you can hear everything from there. Great place for a bunch of elderly people! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeperpanda Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 If you look at the URLs for Board To Death KillMart and Sorority House they are still from the old attractions, Mysteria (Board To Death), Holiday Horror (KillMart), and Cut Throat Cove (Sorority House). Does anyone know why this is? Are the present haunts where the old ones were? The same thing happened to The Bat, it still says Flight Deck. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Board to Death indeed took over Mysteria's former location. However, the other two are not even close. Cut Throat Cove was on the back patio of Hank's, while Sorority House took over Massacre Manor's location (and really isn't much more than a retheming of the latter). KillMart is in a location that has not hosted a maze before (it used to be an arcade building), while Holiday Horror was all the way over in Planet Snoopy in the Peanuts Playhouse (now the petting zoo). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I never even knew that Delta Delta Die had been renamed to Sorority House. Shows how often I look at the Park Map, I suppose. - homestar92, who ironically uses laminated copies of the new unfolded park maps (from KI, KD, CWi, and KI Haunt) as placemats... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcsports Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 My family was at KI this past Saturday and in years past we enjoyed watching the Undertaker interact with guests at the front before we leave because my kids are too young for any of the Haunt attractions. My question is where was the Undertaker at? We could hear him over the speakers but never saw him. I asked a couple of workers and they just shrugged their shoulders. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGatorHead 8904 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 And probably will say Delta Delta Die until the middle of next Haunt. The maps are updated every year to add the new attractions / remove any attractions no longer there. Extremely unlikely that they would not change Delta Delta Die's name on the 2016 map. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumor has it he was Under the Sea. From Thee Undertaker's Facebook page: Ehemmm! Some of you have wondered where Thee Undertaker Has Gone!!!??? I've Gone FISHNG!!! But dont take my word for it!!! SEA FOR YOUR SHELL!!! I mean self!!! He's playing King Triton in The Children's Theater of Cincinnati's production of The Little Mermaid. The performances are over early enough that he can be at KI at the end of the night, but not necessarily the beginning of the night. https://www.thechildrenstheatre.com/mainstage/details/disneys-the-little-mermaid-jr 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delirium2018 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I remember walking into the park last Friday, and hearing a different voice over the speakers. I thought maybe he was sick and that he'd come back tomorrow. Nope, I was a little disappointed, because hearing his voice while walking into the park gives you that Haunt feeling. Didn't really feel it. So thanks for sharing I was curious where he went. Hope he's back tonight. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RailRider Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Was down at Haunt this past Friday and my overall opinion is that Haunt has become uninspired. I have been going to FearFest/Haunt since inception and this years rendition was very underwhelming. The only positive from the night is that lines were short. My thoughts on the park. Lots of fog as always and great use of LED effect lighting throughout the park, but the random placement of props and displays is just odd. Still haven't figured out the purpose of the stage over by the theater in Nightmare Alley and why do they not have a handful of characters roaming that area? Could be a great scare zone. Speaking of actors, not sure how many times I notice characters in scare zones or roamers just standing around and talking with each other or park guests. Seriously? Witnessed multiple statue characters just conversing rather than engaging the crowd as they walked by. I thought one time down I-Street as I walked behind a couple supervisors they would say something to the socializing statues, nope they just smiled and moved on. May as well get your cell phone out and update Facebook while your socializing because that is how pathetic the effort was from most actors. I did notice a few who were menacing the guests, but these actors were far outnumbered by those who came across uninterested. These observations were carried over to the houses we went through as well. Actors just standing and passing the time rather than trying. Groups were small enough they could reset, but instead chose not too or were never set to begin with. I understand these are long nights, but the park and management needs to do a much better job in motivating and incentivizing the actors. Then again when your own app rates most of the houses as not scary, you have sent a message loud and clear you don't care anymore. Overall we left very underwhelmed by the event and this years rendition played as nothing more than a late season cash grab. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screaming_Chicken Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I went Saturday for the Snoopy Halloween Party and it was enjoyable and I was there for part of haunt it was okay. I didn't do any haunt attractions and the fog was a bit too much for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall we left very underwhelmed by the event and this years rendition played as nothing more than a late season cash grab. Surprised that a scare zone listed on the park map and on the website as a scare zone has no monsters roaming though said scare zone. This stinks because there are people like Gator's evil(?) twin brother and plenty of other monsters working their butts off being actually scary, but it just seems to be that a vast majority of monsters are just not giving it their all. And why this is still an issue when we're about to hit the last weekend of the event and of the season is beyond me, considering most "weak" actors are removed by the second or third weekend. It's ridiculous how many issues there are plaguing the event that have gone unfixed and ignored. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themuska11 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 End of the season, I'm sure a lot of the actors are burnt out. I can imagine their job getting boring for some pretty quick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_Plummer Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Next Haunt I'll be old enough to work there. Granted I'm lucky enough to get the job, I'm gonna work my butt off to try and scare people and take it seriously. Hate to see Haunt taken as a kind of joke. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themuska11 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I honestly think unless Haunt gets a major overhaul, say maybe bring in a outside company to design the attractions like for Fearfest's inaugural year, which is highly unlikely. Halloween Haunt will continue to be on a decline and their mazes will become even more dated. Sorority House has been the exact same for a decade, minus the empty beers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark6495 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I would much rather wait in an hour or 2 (or longer) long line for a very unique fun interesting maze than wait 30-60 minutes for a few tired mazes. I feel for the actors. You dont really have time to reset between groups. Slaughter House seems to really have it going on as the groups seem much more manageable and allows the actors to do their things. But other houses where groups of 25 roll through it seems almost like the actors never get a moment. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
